Two Decades of Waves: AccesSurf's Anniversary Beach Day Celebrates Community
Twenty years of waves, community, and aloha. AccesSurf Hawaiʻi marks two decades of making the ocean accessible to everyone with a special Day at the Beach this Saturday, Nov. 7, at White Plains Beach in Kalaeloa on Oʻahu. This milestone isn't just a celebration, it's a call to action. Their 20 for 20 campaign aims to raise $200,000, funding 20 free beach days for keiki, ʻohana, and kupuna of all abilities. We love how this event embodies the island's spirit of inclusivity and adventure.
